<p>Do you want to know how to build your own Do It Yourself (DIY) <strong>home solar water heater</strong> and save up to 33% of your monthly electricity bill? If you do, be sure to check out <a href="/blog/solarheater_guide">Tom Hayden Simple Heaters</a> home solar water heater building guide.</p>
<p>One of the biggest usages of electricity at home is our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating" target="_blank">home water heater</a> unit. If you are living in a cold climate area, the <em>water heater</em> is very essential to heat the water for our shower, washing dishes and cleaning.</p>
<p>Since an electric water heater uses a heating coil powered by electric current, the power it consumes every time the unit is switched on is quite substantial.</p>
<p>Is there a cheaper solution? Well, you can build a home solar water heater yourself to save money.</p>
<h1>DIY Home Solar Water Heater</h1>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tom Hayden Simple Heaters</span> was specially written to help anyone to make their own homemade solar water heating unit. The idea is to help you to set up your own solar water heater with a budget of less than $70!</p>
<p>Tom Hayden is a solar energy enthusiast and he has been studying, building and using solar energy for over 30 years. His guide was written based on his years of experience using simple, easy and affordable components to construct a solar water heater.</p>
<p>What good is a DIY home solar water heater unit if it is too complicated to build or cost too much to construct? Hayden’s guide was made simple to comprehend and without any technical jargon so that any average Joe could understand it.</p>
<p>If you can read and understand his instructions in the guide, you can pretty much build the system on your own.</p>
<p>Hayden also kept his guide selling relatively cheap so anyone could afford it. The Simple Heaters guide is selling for only <strong>$29.99</strong>. Every purchase of his guide comes with 4 additional bonus e-books on renewable and green energy.</p>
<p>Hayden’s manual also comes with a 60 days money back guarantee. If you are not happy with your purchase, you can ask for a full refund within 60 days from your purchase date. For more information, click on the link below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Installing your own homemade solar power system involves multiple steps. Previously, I wrote about how to<a href="/blog/home-solar-power/how-to-install-solar-panels-on-roof/"> install the DIY solar panel</a> up on the roof. When the panel is up, the next step is to wire it up to the charge controller. Here’s the simple instruction for the process.</p>
<p>What you need to do is slip in the BX cable from the solar panel to the charge controller. It is a good idea to insulate the tip so you don’t create a spark on the device.</p>
<p>Feed the wire through a strainer lead and tighten it up. This is to prevent the BX cable from being accidentally yanked off the charge controller.</p>
<p>With the Direct Current (DC) coming from the solar panel, you should use some kind of fusing system. Just in case something goes wrong, the fuse will burn off rather than your solar component.</p>
<p>For the fusing mechanism, you can use a standard car fuse rated 40 amps at 32 volts. What you really need is about 15 amp and the car fuse is more than enough to give your system some measure of protection.</p>
<p>Now, attach the fuse to the positive wire on the BX cable and the protection system is done.</p>
<p>If you are building a large residential solar power system, the fuse protection mechanism will have to be done in a separate box. For a small DIY system, a simple connection on the live wire should be fine.</p>
<p>Next, use a small jumper wire on the fuse mechanism to connect it to the charge controller. Look at the charge controller circuitry and locate the positive terminal. That is where the wire should be attached to.</p>
<p>Next to the positive terminal should be the negative terminal. Connect the negative wire from the BX cable to this terminal.</p>
<p>Finally, connect the ground terminal to the ground wire from the BX cable. Usually, the ground wire is green in color.</p>
<p>When you’ve finished connecting the cable from the solar panel to the charge controller, the next step is to do the battery connection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here’s another home renewable energy guide that I wanted to do a review on. It’s an e-book called <strong>Ambigrid</strong>. You can see its main web site at <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5050">www.ambigrid.com</a></strong>.</p>
<h2>First Impression</h2>
<p>When I first landed on its web site, the thing that caught my attention is its big bold red headline. Ambigrid is revealing the <strong>“secret”</strong> for generating free electricity.</p>
<p>It’s not really a secret though. We can easily create free energy either by using solar power or wind generator at home. The challenge is to build a working model with minimum cost.</p>
<h2>Inexpensive Renewable Energy System</h2>
<p>One thing that I do agree, you do not have to spend thousands of dollar to have your own residential renewable energy system. You can build the system on your own via Do It Yourself (DIY) approach.</p>
<p>However, there is a catch. It involves a lot of tedious work and time investment. Nonetheless, it can be done with the proper step-by-step guide.</p>
<p>In the Ambigrid e-book, it offers 4 residential green power systems.</p>
<li>Solar panels</li>
<li>Wind turbines</li>
<li>Solar water heaters</li>
<li>Solar air heaters</li>
<p>The solar panel and wind generator are power production system while the solar water and air heaters are mainly to reduce your existing home energy bill.</p>
<p>During winter time, close to 50 percent of our home power bill is spent on heating the internal area of our house. By using the solar air and water heater, it is a practical way to bring down our home energy consumption.</p>
<h2>Product Guarantee and Cost</h2>
<p>What if the suggestion in Ambigrid does not work? Well, there’s a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clickbank.com/refund_policy_faq.html">60 days money back guarantee</a> on the manual.</p>
<p>That’s one of the benefits of buying information product on the internet. If you don’t like it, you can return it for a full refund within 60 days from your purchase date.</p>
<p>So how much does Ambigrid costs?</p>
<p>The regular price is listed as $197, but the actual price is <strong>$49.00</strong>. The cost of the manual is relatively similar to other renewable energy kits on the web.</p>
<h2>Ambigrid Review Conclusion</h2>
<p>If you are tired of paying ridiculously high electricity rates to the power utility companies, it’s time for you to look for alternative energy sources to supplement your home energy needs.</p>
<p>The best solution right now is green energy in the form of solar or wind power.</p>
<p>Engaging a professional contractor to setup the system can be expensive. You’ll need at least $30,000 capital investment to get started.</p>
<p>A cheaper alternative is to build the renewable energy system on your own. If you are a DIYer, the Ambigrid e-book will give you a good step-by-step instruction to build a solar panel, wind generator, solar water and solar air heater.</p>
<p>All you have to do is read the blueprint and spend some time working in your garage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Renewable Energy Information Product On The Internet</h2>
<p>Couple of week ago, I did a write up on <a href="/blog/diy-green-energy/green-diy-energy-review/">Green DIY Energy review.</a> Today, I have been relooking into the Green DIY Energy manual from <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5085">www.greendiyenergy.com</a></strong> again. There is some very interesting figures that I found. This renewable energy guide has been getting a lot of attention and it is selling like hot cakes on the internet.</p>
<p>I have a software call <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.my-linker.com/hop/5012">Affiliate Elite</a></strong> that can be programed to track all the information product from Clickbank. If you are new to the realm of web marketing, Clickbank is the largest portal on the internet that sells all variety of e-books. They are not the publisher of e-books, but more like an intermediate party between the actual author and the buyer.</p>
<p>In the offline world, Clickbank is like the <strong>Borders</strong> or <strong>Barnes and Nobles</strong> bookstores. Their key role is to handle online payment processing, complains and guarantees and also set a certain standards for the publishers to follow.</p>
<h2>The Rise Of GreenDIYenergy Manual</h2>
<p>Coming back to GreenDIYenergy manual, my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://1c95cpw7mxjbdwe2urz71z5w4t.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=5012">Affiliate Elite software</a> has been tracking its sales performance for the last 90 Days (April 2009 to end June 2009). The figures are pretty impressive.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="GreenDIYenergy Gravity chart" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/greendiyenergy2.jpg" alt="" width="412" height="274" /><br />
As you can see from the chart above, Green DIY Energy guide has a steady increase based on their <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clickbank.com/ranking.html">Product Gravity</a>. Product Gravity is a complex formula used by Clickbank to calculate and to show the average product performance on a daily basis taking into factor multiple variables.</p>
<p>What does the graph shows? It is showing GreenDIYenergy having a very good sales performance trend for the last 90 days. As an analogy, the graph is like <strong>Amazon.com</strong> telling you how a book on their inventory is performing for the last 90 days. It gives an estimate figure of how many people are buying the book and how many people are returning it.</p>
<h2>A Good Product To Invest In</h2>
<p>If you are planning to buy a home renewable energy guide, <strong>Green DIY Energy manual</strong> is a very good bet. Not a lot of information product on the web has such a good performance record. One thing that I am certain, many people are buying the e-book and at the same time they are loving it because there is a very low return rate.</p>
<p>If you are wondering how to use<strong> solar or wind energy</strong> for your home to reduce your electricity consumption, be sure to check out Green DIY Energy manual.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Reviewing Green DIY Energy Guide</h1>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Green DIY Energy web site" src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/greendiyenergy2.jpg" alt="" width="396" height="297" /></p>
<p>In this blog post, I wanted to do a review on another Do It Yourself (DIY) <a href="/">home renewable energy guide</a> on the web. The e-book is called <strong>Green DIY Energy</strong> from <a rel="nofollow" href="/blog/greendiyenergy_site">GreenDIYenergy.com</a>. After going through the main sales page, I could not find the name of the author. I find that a bit odd.</p>
<p>The last couple of days, I have been to a couple of forums and discussions about home renewable energy such as solar and wind system. Are they really practical and can someone build one with a step-by-step instructional book.</p>
<p>Apparently, a lot of people feel skeptical about it. I don&#8217;t blame them because I was one of the skeptic. Hence, that is the purpose for this <strong>Green DIY Energy review</strong>.</p>
<h2>What To Expect From Green DIY Energy</h2>
<p>Before you finish reading this Green DIY Energy review, you must understand this. The manual will not completely reduce your home energy bill overnight. Neither will it reduce it by half. <strong>5 or 10 percent</strong> is plausible.</p>
<p>Therefore, I have to advise you on having <strong>right expectation</strong> on the results that you will get out of the e-book.</p>
<h2>Inside The Step-by-step Guide</h2>
<p>Like many other renewable energy guides on the internet, <em>Green DIY Energy</em> will show you the two types of free energy source which are <strong>solar and wind</strong>.</p>
<p>The guide begins by asking you to do a home energy audit. This is to figure out how much energy your home electrical appliances are using and how much power the system would have to generate.</p>
<p>For starter, you may not be able to wire all the appliances to the system. One or two equipment such as a computer, TV, radio, lamp etc is possible.</p>
<p>Next, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Green DIY Energy</span> will show you how to choose the right green energy system for your home.</p>
<p>Do you live in an area with good sun coverage?</p>
<p>If you are, then a <a href="/blog/home-solar-power/how-to-install-home-solar-power-system/">roof solar panel</a> will be right for your. If you are living in a hilly area with strong wind, then a <a href="/blog/wind-power/domestic-wind-turbine-reduce-your-home-energy-bill/">domestic wind turbine</a> will do the job.</p>
<p>The manual will list down all the advantages and disadvantages of both systems.</p>
<h2>Green DIY Energy Guarantees</h2>
<p>Since Green DIY Energy is offered under Clickbank, you are covered under their <strong>60 Days Money Back Guarantee</strong> policy.</p>
<p>If you do not see any value in the e-book, you are entitled to ask for your money back within 60 days from the purchase date. This is an added value because it lifts all the risks from the buyer.</p>
<p>It also make sure GreenDIYenergy.com must create good value or they will have a high return rate.</p>
<p>But after checking on the statistics from Clickbank, <a href="http://www.greendiyenergyreviews.com/green-diy-energy-reviews/">Green DIY Energy</a> e-book has a very minimal return rate. That is a good sign!</p>
<h2>Green DIY Energy Review Conclusion</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s my final thought. Most people want to reduce their home energy bill, but many people would not have the skill nor the time to build their own solar array or wind turbine.</p>
<p>In this case, it will be a better idea to outsource the work to a professional contractor.</p>
<p>As a home owner, you should be prudent. You should know some basic information on the <strong>science of renewable energy</strong>. At least you will know when you are being charged for unnecessary parts of work done on your home.</p>
<p>If you are looking of a good e-book on home solar or wind energy system, then <a rel="nofollow" href="/blog/greendiyenergy_site">Green DIY Energy</a> will do just fine.</p>
